9 Ways Your Life Improves When You Teach Yoga Online
Have you ever wondered what life looks like when you teach yoga online? How does it feel to guide your students from your living room, connecting with them through a webcam instead of in person?
Though our perspective may be slightly biased, we’re convinced that teaching yoga online is the very best business model for yoga practitioners who want a career built on freedom and flexibility.
Let's explore nine remarkable ways your life can improve when you begin to teach yoga online…
01 Freedom to Roam
Bid farewell to the cold winters of Minneapolis or the soaring real estate prices of San Francisco.
Picture yourself basking in the sun-kissed beaches of Bali or finding serenity in a charming Idaho farmhouse – your options are truly endless.
Teaching yoga online means you can embrace the freedom to live wherever your heart desires.
02 Travel on Your Terms
Forget the limitations of traditional work schedules, whether it’s the 9-5 or the teaching-in-multiple-studios-teaching grind. When you set your own schedule, you’re no longer limited to just two weeks of vacation, the occasional long weekend, or the same holidays that everybody else takes off.
Imagine hopping on a spontaneous flight to Miami, hosting a class poolside, or embarking on mid-week road trips without the constraints of requesting time off.
When you teach online, you become the master of your time.
03 Customized Work-Life Balance
When you embrace an online yoga business, you open the door to a more flexible work-life balance.
No longer tied to rigid studio hours, you can mold your work schedule around your toddler’s nap time or greet the day with sunrise classes — the power to design your ideal work-life balance is all in your hands.
Whether you're looking to tackle financial goals head-on or simply want more control over your work hours, online teaching grants you the freedom to decide. You set the pace and can teach as many classes as you prefer, creating a schedule that suits your unique needs and aspirations.
04 Escape the Daily Commute
The drudgery of rush hour, public transportation, or treacherous weather conditions will be a thing of the past. No longer will you find yourself dashing through rain, snow, or icy roads to find just a handful of students awaiting your class (because nobody else wants to drive in the rain, snow, or ice, either).
With online teaching, you'll leave behind the inconveniences of commuting, allowing you to instruct your classes from the cozy comfort of your chosen space.
It's a transformative shift that not only simplifies your professional life but also enhances your quality of life.
05 More Quality Time
Chances are that you’re very, very passionate about yoga, but we’re guessing that you’re just as passionate about spending time with the people you love, and doing the things you love.
Teaching yoga online gives you the gift of extra time—time that can be dedicated to cuddling your pets or immersing yourself in a captivating novel, enriching your life beyond the yoga mat.
06 Earnings Reflect Your Efforts
In the world of a traditional yoga teaching career, your income often hinges on the number of classes or students, leaving you at the mercy of factors like studio location and marketing. You can be the best yoga teacher who ever downward-dogged, but your earnings might still not reflect your true worth as a teacher.
None of us became yoga teachers to get rich, but it is nice to be rewarded for hard work. Teaching yoga online flips the script, granting you full control over your marketing, pricing, and class size (with a little Marvelous magic, of course!). As a self-employed online instructor, your paycheck is directly linked to your effort, promising a more equitable return for your dedication.
“I had been looking for a way to work online in my areas of expertise for at least 5 years. I did not find anything that came close to fitting my needs, both in the platform and financial areas, until I found Marevlous. The Marvelous team is incredible. I have confidence my vision will happen and I have hope for my retirement future. I am excited to be a part of this growing company.”
07 Teach Your Passion
Has your studio ever shoehorned you into a class that you don’t feel qualified to teach? Or, to be honest, you don’t want to teach?
With online teaching, you regain the freedom to choose precisely what sets your heart on fire. Whether it's delving into specialized areas like pregnancy yoga or the soothing embrace of restorative yoga, online instruction allows you to explore and share what truly lights you up, even if it's not readily available in your local studio's repertoire.
08 Say Goodbye to Sweaty Gym Bags
Done with your class? You can simply stroll into your bedroom and effortlessly toss your sweaty workout attire directly into the hamper. No more fussing over packing multiple outfits or the awkwardness of arriving at social gatherings still clad in yoga pants.
09 Freedom to Choose Your Classroom
Even if you stay teaching in your hometown, you’re not stuck teaching in the studio on that perfect beach day.
The beauty of online teaching is that you can transport your practice to that Airbnb at the coast, the mountainside retreat you’ve been dreaming of, or even your own backyard oasis. It’s up to you!
Your life—and yoga business—will absolutely flourish when geography and time constraints no longer hold you back. Teaching yoga online is a journey that opens doors to a world of possibilities, empowering you to live life on your terms, and when you integrate the power of Marvelous, the transformation becomes even more remarkable.
